Walker organ in the sanctuary from 12-12:30, followed by lunch served in the Lower Children's House. The series is named after Marguerite Manley who was a long-time member of Hitchcock and on the committee responsible for selecting the organ in 1990, and was a wonderful supporter of the music program.

Scarsdale Historical Society today announced a film screening for a newly uncovered film that was created by residents in 1946. Scarsdale in World War II chronicles how Scarsdalians united and rallied in support of the war effort in the 1940s, and was produced and screened as part of a fundraising campaign for Jewish refugee children. This will be the first time the movie has been publicly shown in decades, and the public can RSVP now for the event on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at 7:30 PM at Scarsdale Public Library.
The original 16mm film was found in storage at the Scarsdale Public Library, and all 1,200 feet of film has been digitized and preserved by the Scarsdale Historical Society. This historic treasure presents a stunning, visual testimony of Scarsdale life in the 1940’s. The footage captures Scarsdale’s landmarks as they appeared almost 80 years ago, including the only-known footage of some sites that no longer exist.
The motion picture is associated with many high-profile figures, particularly the president of Twentieth Century Fox, Murray Silverstone of Richbell Close. His wife, Dorothy Silverstone, was one of the leaders of the charitable organization behind the film. It was produced by stage producer Julian Olney and narrated by preeminent American broadcaster Lowell Thomas.
“Digitizing and sharing this film is part of our commitment to preserving and disseminating Scarsdale’s history,” stated Randy Guggenheimer, President of the Scarsdale Historical Society. “Residents of all backgrounds, ages and religions united in the face of war, and this film is a priceless snapshot of Scarsdale’s deep-rooted civic-minded past.”

Admission to the film is free. The event is co-sponsored by the Scarsdale Historical Society and the Scarsdale Public Library.
The public can register here for the premiere.
Note: The film will be presented as originally created. It contains outdated language which may cause offense.

Please join us in the Scott Room of the Scarsdale Library on Monday April 1 at 7 pm when authors Jessica Saunders and Amy Poeppel will discuss Saunder's debut novel Love, Me, about a pernicious betrayal that quickly upends a young mother’s life.
Rachel Miller is a lawyer and mother of two who’s just as comfortable in a courtroom as she is on the sidelines of a soccer field. Sure, her marriage is on autopilot, her parents are overly involved, and the other suburban moms are just a little bit catty. But if you ask Rachel, life is good. That is until her world is upended when racy photos of her and her high school boyfriend, the famous actor Jack Bellow—along with his love letters to her—are published in a tabloid, unexpectedly thrusting Rachel into the spotlight. This newfound attention calls into question her marriage, her career, and her superstar ex. Betrayed by someone she trusted and reunited with the man she tried so hard to forget, Rachel must ask herself, “How did I get here? And what do I really want?”
Jessica Saunders is a lawyer whose dream of writing fiction gave way, for many years, to writing legal briefs. A graduate of Cornell University and St. John’s University School of Law, where she was a St. Thomas More Scholar, Jessica was inspired by the loss of a dear friend to finally pursue her passion. Jessica lives in Westchester, New York, with her husband and two daughters. Love, Me is her first novel.
Amy Poeppel is the award-winning author of the novels The Sweet Spot, Musical Chairs, Limelight, and Small Admissions. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Rumpus, Literary Hub, and Working Mother. She and her husband have three sons and split their time between New York City, Germany, and Connecticut.
Books will be available for purchase and signing, thanks to Bronx River Books.

Westchester County Parks’ Conservation Division will host solar eclipse events county-wide, Monday, April 8, where participants can safely view the solar eclipse and learn more about this astronomical marvel. A total solar eclipse is where the moon will briefly cover the sun, leaving the sun’s outer corona visible. This eclipse will also fall over more places in the United States than usual. Westchester County Parks was able to obtain viewing glasses for all events as it is not safe to look directly at the solar eclipse. Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “It is rare for a total solar eclipse to be viewable to so many people and it’s exciting that it will be partially visible in our area. Experiencing it safely at our parks is a great way to mark this special phenomenon.” Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation Commissioner, Kathy O’Connor said, “Our Conservation Division does an incredible job of hosting educational events that inform the public of seasonal environmental happenings and this event is sure to be both fun and informative.” The following locations will host solar eclipse events: · Cranberry Lake Preserve in North White Plains, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. · Edith G. Read Wildlife Sanctuary in Rye, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. · Lasdon Park, Arboretum, and Veterans Memorial in Katonah, 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. · Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. · Trailside Nature Museum at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Events and parking are free.
